Yes I have, absolutely.
Tristan alluded to this when he talked about the effects of intersections of multiple social positions.
Since my work has mostly focused on suicide, I'll comment on one that really stands out. That is the experience of indigenous Canadians, who also experience a rate of suicide four times greater than the non-indigenous population. Not surprisingly, indigenous sexual and gender minorities experience both of those forms of oppression, stigma and historic injustices at the same time.
Very often in health care—and maybe in a lot of our institutions—we think of one population at a time, so the people who fit in those intersections often get left behind. When we talk about a queer-focused suicide prevention strategy or queer-focused services, sometimes that implies we mean it primarily for individuals who are part of the white majority, and that's unjust. For that reason, I would encourage the committee to invite speakers who have expertise working with indigenous and two-spirit LGBTQ people.
